we are so tired of the way the homeless treat us as we walk the B line there, their profanity and disrespect for public decency. sunday morning my family had to witness a half naked person used the bathroom on the trail we walked. sorry but enough is enough we will not contenue to tolerate this disreguard for sociadle ruining. Homelessness is a choice not a decease trat it that way

Other: Re: uReport Case #171533 that was recently closed: (southwest corner of Kinser Pike and Rosewood). The utilities box (which contains full car-sized batteries and other electrical items) is, exposed. Someone has tied a strip of electrical tape around the box. Besides very temporary, it is also unsightly and unsafe. It does not secure the door if someone (say one of the children that frequents the area) should decide to remove the door and investigate the electrical devices inside. I think someone can and should do better. I keep getting the run around from AT&T and Comcast that neither boxes are theirs and am at an impasse. How else can we resolve this?
Hi there, I have noticed a large increase in homeless activity in Bloomington this year. In the past, homeless individuals have largely remained in Seminary Park. Now, I see them camped in the park by Hartzell’s on Kirkwood, up by the square further north on Walnut, and even in Bryan Park. Homelessness is a complex problem and individuals in this situation face unfathomable challenges, but many of my peers and I feel their presence in social areas of Bloomington has negatively impacted the safety and cleanliness of the city. Just yesterday, I witnessed a homeless man harass a girl sitting in Brother’s Bar and Grill by slapping the window as if he was slapping her bottom through the window. It made me feel unsafe in my Bloomington home. Similarly, the park near Hartzell’s on Kirkwood is no longer an inviting place to eat ice cream with friends due to the mess left by homeless populations in this area. I am so sorry for their situation and challenges they face, but I do not want the homeless epidemic to impact the value and vibrance of the many lovely green spaces in Bloomington. For these reasons, I wanted to express my concerns about the spread of homelessness in Bloomington this past year and implore you to seek solutions for the issue. I am not an expert in social services or rehabilitation, so I am not sure if there are solutions to this problem, but I hope the city of Bloomington will take my concerns to heart to both help the homeless and improve the safety and well-being of Bloomington. Thank you

Can there be an education campaign about how to wear to masks. So many people have them below their noses, such as a waitress at a business I was just at
Messages from the COB Violation Hotline: 7/25 11:35AM A man called reporting that there were 15+ people in Seminary Park not wearing masks. The caller also wanted to "warn" Mayor Hamilton that "patriots are warming up the park." 7/25 3:07PM A caller reports that the Marathon gas station on South Walnut (corner of 37 and Tapp Road) is not requiring customers to wear masks inside the store, and the employees were not wearing masks either. Caller said there was an employee behind the counter stocking cigarettes who just "shrugged" when asked why he did not have a mask on.
My wife and I are very concerned about local businesses attracting out of towners due to relatively lax covid regulations. We understand attendees are flocking to The Wilds for weddings, with 100+ attendees coming from all over the country, including covid hot spots. This is a serious safety concern for the town.
Message from COB Violation Hotline: 12:00pm 7/26 Caller reports that the employees at Speedway gas station on SR46 and Smith Pike are not wearing their masks properly (sitting below the nose, hanging around the neck, etc.) Customers are also not wearing masks.
BLM murals should not be painted on roads or buildings or anywhere else. If you insist on this ridiculous waste of time and money, THEN WE WANT AN ALL LIVES MATTER MURAL. Mr Hamilton you are not fit to be in public office with your communist ways. NO BLM GRAFITTI !!!!!!!!!
